THE RIVER or REST.

A beautiful stream is the River Of Rest:
The still, wide waters sweep clear and cold.
4 tall mast crosses a star in the west.
\ white sail CLEANS ia the west worlds gold;
It leans to the shore Of ;ia River Of Rest
The lily lined shore Of the River of Rest
The bnatman riscs he reaches hand,
He knows YOU well, he will steer you true,
And far, SO far from all ills upon land,
From hates from fates that pursue and pursue
Far over the lily lined River OF Ecst-
Dear mystical, magical River Of Rest
a stored, sweet stream Is this River Of Rest;
The souls Of all time keep It's ultimate shore;
And Journey you east, or Journey you west,
Unwilling, or willing, sure footed, or sore,
You surely will come 10 this River Of Rest
This beautiful, beautiful River Of Rest.
